I can’t quite believe it’s been ONE YEAR since I posted my first video essay. I should probably say something humble about how much it sucks. But while I’d like to think my craft has improved, I’m actually quite proud of my first effort. And in an ecosystem where fandoms keep referring to one another as “LARPers” it’s pretty relevant too.

My cat is obsessed with this cupboard and tries to get in whenever I open it. It’s nice to see that she cares about physical media!

Quick health update. Last week’s test was free of tumour markers and my CT scan came back clear. So, the good news is that the cancer hasn’t spread. The bad news is that I’m likely to need a Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy (Google it) in the near future.

I’m afraid I’ve had a quite serious clinical diagnosis recently which means I’ll have to step away from work (including YouTube creation) until further notice. Thank you everyone for your support and I hope to be able to resume asap.

YouTube channel havers… what does this mean? Why have I received this? I’ve noticed my views seem to have been throttled but I have no idea how I’ve violated community guidelines?!?
